I'd definitely be up for a meeting!
I'm not entirly sure what I'll be doing over summer - I've applied for 
an IBM internship, so hopefully I'll be doing that, but I dunno if I got 
in yet. In any case I should be able to squeeze in a week somewhere 
along the line!

I finish exams on Friday so after that I can hopefully start doing some 
stuff again...

...eventually I'd be happy to take care of the site... BUT I have some 
other sites to do first coz I've promised various ppl I would so I would 
not be able to do anything soon. (Also I haven't learnt PHP yet - I'm 
still a Perl person ;P). So perhaps someone else should step in for now 
- but in the long run I'd definitely be up for working on the site.

A lot of my recent work has revolved around websites and related stuff. 
My third year project was an RDF editor (RDF is a format for meta data) 
which got me thinking: perhaps I can add an RSS feed of our diary and 
website news some day (RSS 1.0 is based on RDF) - that'd be cool IMHO.
